I think I just F-ed my truck

Long story short: I was hauling a load of PT lumber up my driveway to replace the lagging on my retaining wall. I heard a bang just after starting up my driveway; it didn't stop the truck and I kept on going to where I wanted to unload the lumber. I thought it was the tailgate (the tailgate was down as I was hauling 12-ft lumber). I found that it wasn't as soon as I tried to open the door. Both the driver's and passenger's door won't open

The tailgate was fine - it must have been the trailer hitch instead.

So the bed was pushed into the cab. And that would happen via the frame. F-ed, no?

There is a long and tortured back story of the unhappy tale of my truck and my driveway. The driveway is steep and 60-ft+ long. The truck would lose traction/control both going up and down the driveway.

I assume I'll have to sell the truck for parts (unless somebody wants to use a truck that can only be entered via the window). It runs fine - the buyer could even drive it away.

I haven't taken it to a body shop; I don't think they'ed give me good news.

What do you think?

Thanks
